Wait one cotton-pickin’ minute here. You mean the old issues are no longer
free?!!!????!!
I totally understand about charging for new content starting with issue 10.
But issues 1-8 were released without any indication that they would ever
not be freely available.

I did bring this up here:

You posted a reply here:
http://news.lugnet.com/publish/brickjournal/?n=178
and I stated my position here:
http://news.lugnet.com/publish/brickjournal/?n=179
If BrickJournal is to be a sustainable enterprise, I will need to make as
many revenue streams as possible.

That thread was talking about the new issues (from issue 10 onward). I’m
talking about the existing issues that were previously made available for
free. Once something’s been released for free, it seems wrong to me to start
charging for it later.
|
This was a decision that was made after it was pointed out to me by the
publisher that a free issue in any form will undercut any selling issue. As for
the revenue itself, it will be going to subsidizing print compendiums of back
issues.
I am sorry that you thought otherwise.
